We are settling into our new life!

I feel like we are finally settling into being a family of seven. I never dreamed that I would have 5 children but it is a very exciting life and I wouldn't trade it for anything. Life with two three year olds keeps me very busy. There are so many emotions to deal with (including my own!) One moment Stacie and Zachary are playing like they are the best buddies in the whole world and they next they can be bickering and fighting about some very small thing. Urgh! That is the hard part about having two little kiddos so close in age. But the joys certainly outnumber the lows.

Here are some things that have occured or observations since we have been home:
* Zachary loves eggs and can eat four at one sitting with a big smile
* He loves Stacie
* Stacie loves Zachary
* Playing house is a favorite
* Zachary loves to help me dust, sweep, empty the dishwasher and set the table
* Stacie wants to do whatever Zachary is doing
* Zachary wants to do whatever Stacie is doing
* Zachary is starting to play on the trampoline and huge slide at Play World
* Zachary is very shy with new people around (Sue's note--yippee)
* Sue visits Stir Fry Express every week to stock up on Wonton Soup, Dumplings, LoMein and rice for Zachary and Stacie
* Z loves his older sisters and brother
* He loves hugs and kisses
* He doesn't like pumpkin "guts" on his hands
* All of his tests and lab work turned out negative!
* He has areadly had an ear infection in both ears : (
* Life is crazy
* Life is good
* Zachary likes looking for acorns, and throwing leaves into the air
* I'll post more later--gotta run...we are heading to PlayWorld...great place for developing Zachary's gross motor skills and large muscles
